Eric Clapton
*For this song, the more simple version of G with the B string open sounds better (320003)
*In the verses, walk up from the G to the C
*Also, every time you go from a D to G, wrap your thumb around and play the F# on the
low E string right before the G.
*I put the walk ups in parenthesis in the first verse to show that it's a single note
and not a chord.
[G]I don't care if you never come [(A)]home[(B)]
[C]I don't mind if you just
keep on [G]rowing away on a distant sea cause
[D]I don't love you and you don't [(F#)]love m[G]e
[G]You cause commotion when you come to town
[C]Give 'em a smile and they melt
Having [G]lovers and friends is all good and fine
But [D]I don't like yours and you don't like [G]mine
C Bm7 D *(play with Dsus4 and Dsus2 here)
La la la la la la la
La [C]la [Bm7]la la la la l[D]a[(F#)] [G]
[G]I don't care what you do at night and
[C]I don't care how you get your delights
I'll [G]leave you alone, I'll just let it be
[D]I don't love you and you don't love [G]me
[C]I've got a problem, [G]can you relate
[Am7]I've got a woman c[G]allin' love hate
[C]We made a vow, We'd a[G]lways be friends
[Am7]How could we know that the p[G]romises end
La [C]la [Bm7]la la la la l[D]a
La [C]la [Bm7]la la la la l[D]a
[G]I tried to love you for years upon years
[C]You refuse to take me for real
It's [G]time you saw what I want you to see
That [D]I'd still love you if you'd just lov[G]e me
[C]I've got a problem, [G]can you relate
[Am7]I've got a woman c[G]allin' love hate
[C]We made a vow, We'd a[G]lways be friends
[Am7]How could we know that the p[G]romises end
La [C]la [Bm7]la la la la l[D]a
La [C]la [Bm7]la la la la l[D]a
*Repeat as many times as you want and end on a G
